 Hosted by Nycci Nellis.  On today's show:                                                                                                                                                           -   Have you been to Mike Rafidi's YELLOW in Georgetown? The lil' Levantine cafe serves up delicious pastries - the lebneh-filled croissant is Nycci's kryptonite - pita-filled sandwiches and pizza that is not pizza. He is also the chef behind the too-many-awards-to-mention Albi in Navy Yard. The attention to detail at both these spots is what gets them all their accolades - and that includes the coffee program. In today is Ayat Elhag, the coffee director of YELLOW and Albi, where she helms a beverage program that blends creative, Levantine-inspired specialty drinks with intentionally sourced Counter Culture coffee; -   In 2018, Debby Portillo Gonzalez made a life-changing move to the DMV area from her native El Salvador. Here she and her husband established the 100% handcrafted barbecue operation 2Fifty Texas BBQ. Using exclusively offset smokers, they spearheaded the creation of a unique culinary experience at 2Fifty.  They are dedicated to developing a menu that has top-notch quality control and have now expanded to two locations; -   Chef Seng Luangrath was born in Laos and fled the country during the Vietnam War. During her stay in a refugee camp in Thailand's Nakhon Phanom province she learned how to cook from her camp neighbors and elders. In 2009, at the age of 40, she decided to go after her greatest passion - cooking. In 2010 she took over Padaek, previously Bangkok Golden, a Thai restaurant, where she slowly added Lao dishes of her own. Currently the restaurant offers both Thai and Lao menus. And then — in 2014 she opened Thip Khao, a Lao restaurant in Columbia Heights and home of the Lao Food Movement. And she is just getting started!  -   Christian Irabien is the visionary founder of Amparo Fondita, a remarkable restaurant that celebrates contemporary Mexican cuisine, particularly emphasizing the flavors and influences of coastal regions. Christian's commitment to quality and to showcasing the diverse culinary traditions of Mexico is evident in every meticulously crafted dish; -   And we are joined on RingCentral by Tiffany MacIsaac. The Buttercream Bakeshops founder grew up on Maui and her family lives there today.  She addresses the absolute horror and devastation that have taken place in Hawaii this week. The wild fires have wreaked havoc — and she has some ideas on how we can help.  Learn more about your ad choices.

2023 marks a critical year for Legacies of War's mission as it is the 50th year since the last American bombs were dropped on Laos (August 14th, 1973) as well as the 50th year since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords (January 27th, 1973). This year our podcast is focused on remembrance. This is an homage to all the lives that were lost during war, the current victims of UXO/landmine accidents, and future victims of UXO accidents if we do not find and remove indiscriminate weapons that still impact people today first. This is our way of showing the promise that we will never forget them and continue our fight for funding and education of the history and resolve the current problems. We think the Forget-Me-Not flower is fitting as it symbolizes love, respect and the promise that the recipient of the flower will always be remembered.

Tune in to our very first podcast: Thip Khao Talk! We're launching our first episode on March 8th with stories and conversations History, Healing, Hope.

On the next Industry Night, Kathy Hollinger of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington is back to update all of us on the status of pandemic dining in DC. And, Chef Jonathan Krinn of Clarity in Virginia is hosting an array of DC chefs. I call it a collaboration he calls it crossing culinary bridges. Joining Chef Krinn: Chef JoJo LawYone of Thamee, Chef Bobby Pradachith of Thip Khao, and Chef David Fritsche & Silvan Kramer of Stable @clarityvienna @ramwdc @kathyhollinger @thipkhaodc @thamee_dc @stable_dc @adra_renee

This week, Shift Drink alum Boby Pradichith continues to do the heavy lifting by bringing us chef, and mentor, Ruben Garcia. Freshly funemployed, we look back at Ruben’s 16-year legacy with Think Food Group and how that translates into future plans (think mezcal), “fighting nature,” and the cycle of culinary maturation and creativity. Ruben goes all George Clooney, Boby goes all Benjamin Button, Eddie goes all Julia Roberts, and Mathew tries to go all Daniel Day Lewis. Powered and distributed by Simplecast.

“I have a hard time learning or understanding the language, so what if I made food my language?” - Bobby P. This is the first interview with one of the head chefs at Thip Khao, a Laos restaurant in DC. Chef Bobby introduces me to Laos cuisine and talks about his passion for sharing the dishes of his family, what he thinks are the best eating utensils, and how a true meal is never complete without sticky rice. Restaurants by Chef Seng and Bobby: Thip Khao Sen Khao Padaek Hanumanh

This week we toot our own air horns and stand #LaoNProud with Chef Bobby Pradachith of Thip Khao and Padaek. Eddie and Mathew mark another turn around the sun, Bobby dances with Dirty Harry, Jack strains his air horn finger.

Laos-born Seng Luangrath is the chef and owner of Thip Khao, Washington D.C.’s first Lao restaurant. Chef Seng fled Laos as a refugee with her family during the Vietnam and learned to cook from her Lao neighbors as a child at a refugee camp in Thailand. After decades of suppressing her true calling of cooking professionally, she’s now an award-winning chef based in Washington D.C and the founder of the Lao Food Movement.

Do you have to be a certain age to solve a problem in your community? Does it take a specific level of experience to see someone in need and offer to help? In this powerful episode of Add Passion and Stir, hear from two young people from the next generation of leaders. Millennial chef Bobby Pradachith (Thip Khao) and recent college graduate and anti-hunger advocate Alana Davidson (University of New Hampshire) join Share Our Strength founders Billy and Debbie Shore to share how they are already making big impacts in their communities. When Alana discovered that a quarter of her college classmates struggled with hunger, she sprang into action by contacting the governor and the dean of students. “I couldn’t sit on the number,” she says. “I had to do something about it.” Her efforts resulted in Swipe It Forward, a stigma-free meal donation program for any student experiencing food insecurity. Chef Bobby leads his unique Lao restaurant – the only one in DC - with bold and authentic menu options that both intrigue American diners and minimize food waste. “We don’t hold back,” he promises. Despite their accomplishments, both millennial superstars remain driven to increase their impact going forward. Chef Bobby is inspired by his family’s culture and work ethic, and plans to increase his involvement with helping those less fortunate both here and in Laos. The secret to his continued success will be persistence. “If you have goals, you have to work hard at them,” he says. Alana is looking forward to graduate school at Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and a future working on federal food policy. “Nutrition is never one of the national priorities,” she laments. “Food is used as a tool to keep people in poverty… How can we have a conversation around nutrition that isn’t polarized or too political because we all have to eat.” Host Billy Shore agrees. He describes the military concept of a ‘show of force,’ but posits, “What if our show of force was: We’re going to have the strongest generation in history because we’re going to feed them and educate them… We’re going to invest in kids and health and nutrition and access to food for everyone. Now that’s a pretty different way than most people think of a show of force, but I think there’s an opportunity there to wake people up. These issues really do affect our nation’s strength.” Listen and be inspired by these two young visionaries who are changing the world.
